What reels are those fly reels? I love how they look
I almost hate to admit that I got them on Ebay and the are made in China by Singnol ( oh, the horror) I was a machinist 40 years ago earlier in my career and I've always been a sucker for billet machined stuff. When I saw them I just had to have them so I bid and won both of them for about $12 apiece. I checked and they don't have anymore of the long footed ones but I did see this one that I like a lot because it has the cover to keep slack line from getting wrapped around its axle and its only $6 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111508730817?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I saw some other cool looking reels from China, could you comment on the quality of yours? Obviously I am not expecting quality like my Sage fly reel, but would you say they feel decent?
